Questions

How big is the Reversible Keyboard PCB?

It measures 139.8 × 136.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Reversible Keyboard use?

106 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Reversible Keyboard KiCad files?

From the Nisha51/HiveKB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Reversible Keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic Reversible Keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Reversible Keyboard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Nisha51 before reusing the design.
